The Most Overrated Actor/Actress

[COYBL25]

Jared Leto

Winner.

His ego and lack of ability ruins films.

Blade Runner 2049 should be re done, with someone else cast in his role.

Maybe someone like the acting god that is Nic Cage.

 

[COYBL25]

Jason Statham ….. plays Jason Statham basically

Nah, his films are fun and not meant to be taken seriously.

 

[Lapeno77]

Jack Nicholson.

Plays Jack Nicholson in every film that stars Jack Nicholson

 

[Walken]

Tom Cruise whilst a total weirdo and freak, is undeniably badass and undeserving of being on this list. He's a decent actor but the fact he does his own stunts takes him firmly into the 'don badman' category.

Tropic thunder alone elevated him in my eyes

 

[Walken]

Keanu Reeves. Sorry.

Yep, complete plank of wood.

Lovely fella I'm sure, but horrible at his job

 

[Eggs]

…I’ll throw Julia Robert’s into the mix.

 

[Walken]

He's in a film called 'A Good Year', in which he inherits a chateau and vinyard from an uncle. It might be the worst film ever made.

He was excellent in A Beautiful Mind, carried by an excellent overall production in Gladiator, gave a good early performance in Romper Stomper (though the "Davy' character surpassed his) and churned out a glut of 6/10 box office flops and straight to DVD efforts.

Master and Commander was decent, though not particularly because of Crowe.

Overrated.

He was a force in LA confidental to be fair

 

[Walken]

Not really got the fuss over cumberbatch, his American accent is woeful

 

[notrevE5]

seems like everyone else have been mentioned so we may as well throw in De NIro and Eastwood as well
we've been watching movies all these decades without any real good actors on view

 

[LEONARD]

Jack Nicholson.

Plays Jack Nicholson in every film that stars Jack Nicholson

IMHO, he ruined Kubrick's, 'The Shining'.

The basic premise of the film is that Jack Torrence is slowly turned mad by the hotel.

Jack turns up for the initial interview already acting deranged.

Matthew McConaughey is my nomination.


Agreed, but funnily enough my favourite thing of his was his appearance as Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077. I think he's makes for an excellent character in that.
As a movie actor though, yeah he's just the same character every time. Not great.

To not be negative and moany, my favourite actor is a tie between Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. I think they are brilliantly diverse in the characters they are able to bring to life.

Nonsense.

McConaughey as Rust in the first True Detective is one of the finest performances of all time.

 

[COYBL25]

Jennifer Aniston just plays her friends role over and over again.

I’d remove her equity card and banish her to Bollywood for life.

Christopher Walken plays the same character in every movie, the one where you point at the screen and say "is that Christopher Walken? I didn't know he was in this one!"

Christopher Walken

He plays the same character in every movie, the one where he turns up halfway through the film and you point at the screen and say "is that Christopher Walken? I didn't know he was in this one!"

The Emperor Christopher Walker in Dune pt2.

Although, I have to say it works in The Prophecy
